MrsCatBird, thanks for the tips!

Hulu will play via Xbox 360 using PlayOn Media Server running on Windows (it works under Bootcamp on Mac, but has ip/port issues under Parallels).

That's exactly how our tile looked in our old place ... I recaulked our tub/tile line last night in preparation for our house guests. One recommendation for cleaning tile...

I couldn't agree more - Davis would be at the top of my list with one of the first shared space living communities (Village Holmes) to bike lanes and reasonable speed limits throughout the city, an...

When I moved into my first SF apartment I purchased one from the guy whose room I was moving into - I thought, why not. It wasn't in great shape, but a new mattress cover and I felt okay about it.

So I don't own the Evolve, but my cheapy water saving shower head used to do the same thing (Before it got a crack and had to be replaced) but by accident - it wasn't marketed as doing so.

I've seen plenty of small dogs shivering they're so cold! Sometimes it's pathetic to see them wrapped in a blanket, being carried. I'd rather see them hoofing it on their own in a sweater.

My hardware store puts them out on the corner. Sometimes you'll see them laying around garbage/recycling containers.

Keep hunting for the Pyrex! I use our clear Pyrex tuppers with the blue lids for everything; cereal in the morning; leftovers for lunch. Yeah, they're heavier but I don't mind, even on...

I agree - the french press is a great idea for those who already have them! And cold brew makes a nice strong mixture, with lots of caffeine as benfest said, so diluting it will make i...

It'll be nearly impossible to make it look like new, as matching the stain/color will prove difficult, but here are a couple ideas: One way to go about fixing this would be to buy peel...

Last night we just started throwing some remaining ingredients together and bam.. we had an amazing meal that I'm delighted to have leftovers of for lunch today: Chicken breast stuffed...

That's a great use of bamboo, I'm inspired! I think it would be a great material for a small fence or maybe a bike shelter. There's someone here locally on Craigslist who offered to let folks cut w...

I got ours at Habitat's ReStore but those facilities are hard to come by. I've seen a bunch on Craigslist, even with matching granite tops for under $100. You could also get creative and re purpose...
